Deacon King Kong. James McBride

In September 1969, a clumsy, capricious, old church deacon, on the nickname of a sports jacket, bursts into the courtyard of the residential complex in South Brooklyn, pulls out a 38th caliber pistol from his pocket and, in the eyes of everyone, shoots at the local drug dealer Dims Clemens. Once, Clemens was a state of hope for a baseball team, which was trained by a jacket. Everyone is wondering why the jacket shot the drug dealer.

unraveling the story, the author tells about everyone who has the attitude to her: Clemens, witnesses of African American residents and Latin Americans, white neighbors, local police officers, members of the Baptist Church, where a jacket was a Dyakon , Italian gangsters and the jacket itself. As the narrative is deepened, it becomes clear that the life of the characters who find themselves in a stormy whirlpool of New York of the 1960s intersect in an unexpected way. When the truth still pops up, McBride shows us that not all secrets need to be hidden, that the best way to grow is to meet changes without fear, and that the seeds of love lie in the hope and compassion.
